Photo Gallery: "Selma" Martin Luther King Day Event in Selma, AL

I’m so excited to share official Paramount photos from today’s Martin Luther King Day event, led by crew and castmembers of Selma. I wish I could have been there in person, but these photos really give the sense of energy, fun, and remembrance that the day had.

The day-long event consisted of a Q&A with Selma High School Students and the Selma team, a commemorative march, and a special screening of Selma. Take a look at some of the photos below.
